A good man goes to war by Redchange15 for thefaultinourships
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movie 2020)
24 Dec 2021
Tags
Summary
Quynh takes Joe. Nicky does what is required to get him back.
Prequel-ish to Home and Blood Ties
--The longest Nicky and Joe have been involuntarily separated is eleven years, six months and seventeen days. Nicky has lived through unimaginable horrors that were awful times and he hates those memories. Yet he’d rather go through all of them a thousand times then go through those eleven years, six months and seventeen days again.
It’s the last thought he has as he dies from a well-placed bullet through the lungs, quick enough to drown him in his own blood but slow enough for it to hurt- textbook Quynh. He watches all the other members of his family fall, and with a certainty that is almost clairvoyant, knows that when he takes his next breath, Joe will be gone.
Go for the soft tissue to make it hurt. Quynh taught him that.

Summary
'It's the principle of the thing, Booker,' says Joe for the third time in as many minutes. 'I've already spent a small fortune on tickets to this movie and I'm not even sure I want to see it—why should I spend another fiver on sweets?'
'If you want candy you know where the concession stand is.' Nile is the only one still entertaining the conversation, and Joe's pretty certain she's only doing it to annoy Andy.
'They charge four times the price of the Tesco round the corner!'
Joe just wants some sweets, is that too much to ask?

One Less Day from Dying Young by Triscribe

Summary
They are the Old Guard.
They fight. They die. They get back up and keep fighting.
What are they supposed to do with a baby?
(I've got other AUs featuring "Harry raised by this or that family", "Harry 'stolen' and raised by muggle thieves", and "Harry (to be) raised by Batman", but I honestly don't think Hogwarts would be able to handle a "Harry raised by semi-immortal warriors, including a former soldier of Napoleon's army, two men who first met on opposite sides of the Crusades, and a woman who's been alive for over seven effing thousand years".
So of course, I *needed* to give it a shot. For Reasons, you understand.)

In which I find as many excuses as possible to give Harry Potter a change of address - because I have a tendency to believe in Nurture over Nature, and it's fun to see all the ways I can spin his fate differently than canon.

Summary
Nile is new to Montreal for grad school, but she's fairly hopeless setting up her own wards. She needs help. And for that, she needs to actually find a connection into the local magical community. She's never really been a true part of the community anywhere but her home as a child, so she doesn't understand all that much about it or magic itself, but she's learning.
And if the man she finds to help with her wards also happens to be trying to figure out how to build real roots in the city he's been living in for years, that's something she might be able to help with.

Youthful Indiscretions by dana_norram, quincette for Claire
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movie 2020), The Old Guard (Comics)
30 Sep 2021
Tags
Summary
“It’s rare for an omega to go through a second bonding unless their first mate has passed on,” Copley comments, his tone serious. “A second incomplete bonding is practically unheard of. Professor Di Genova could have been admitted to a hospital to treat the heat symptoms he’s experiencing following this second bite. We can’t really say what will happen should the current bond be dissolved.”
Nicky is a 30-year-old omega who teaches at the prestigious Scythian Academy. Joe is a 17-year-old alpha student who goes into his first rut during one of Nicky’s classes. On their way to the medical bay, Joe pins Nicky against a wall and bites on his scent gland, bonding them together.
This is what happens next.

Summary
There's a man standing in front of his table, a sheepish cant to his shoulders. His lovely, blonde-brown hair looks in need of a haircut since it's growing out somewhat unevenly, presently just long enough to hang partially in his eyes. His eyes are the most intriguing shade between clear blue and crisp green. He has a beauty mark near his mouth, a definitely Roman-looking nose, and enough scruff on his chin that Joe's not sure if he's trying to grow out his beard or just hasn't bothered to shave.
He's fucking gorgeous, is what Joe is trying to say.
(The past year hasn't been kind to Joe or Nicky. But a chance meeting at a local market sets them both on a path they weren't expecting. A path filled with love, magic and maybe, just maybe, some peace.)

Summary
New homeowner Joe has hired contractor Nicky for his planned renovations. He very quickly begins to regret that decision - not because of Nicky’s quality of work, but… just how is Joe supposed to react when the most gorgeous man he has ever seen is giving him pointers on how hard to squeeze his caulk?

Summary
By the time she turns 21, Nile has accepted it as one of those weird facts of life; sometimes it rains frogs in South America, lobsters can't die of old age, and there's at least three people walking around the Earth (or maybe just Chicago and that little part of Florida) that can't die at all.
or; 5 times Nile met a dead person walking and 1 time she was the dead person walking.

Summary
"So this is what my boss meant when she said we must have so much in common," Joe says.
"Yeah, probably," Nicky sighs. "It's...I just remember back when I was in school and there was only one other boy in my year who'd come out—"
"—and everyone assumed that of course you must be into each other," Joe agrees ruefully. "Because you were the two gay kids."
The one where Nicky and Joe make a pact not to sleep together and fuck up the friendship. So, you know, that works out well.

New Beginnings in Malta by WantedKilljoy21
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movies 2020 2025), The Old Guard (Comics)
16 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
It all happened so fast. Finding out, deciding to stop the missions, saying goodbye to Andy and Nile, moving to Malta, adapting to the new life, the new reality. And, of course, waiting. The sweetest and, at the same time, the most terrifying wait of his life. Never in his nearly thousand years of existence had Joe imagined this could happen to them. Not with immortality. Surely this gift would have a high price. They never discussed it, never thinking it would be possible. But their immortal lives had other plans.
“That time in Malta” takes on a whole new meaning.

Summary
Joe and Booker were sparring in the middle of the training room. They were both shirtless, sweat dripping down their firm, defined bodies, deep grunts and lopsided grins. Joe looked perfectly delicious. His corded muscles were glistening under the strain of every punch; so much strength and power in the way he held himself. Controlled power; controlled strength. Joe could end Booker with just one punch, they both knew that, even Booker did, but Nicky knew Joe wanted to have fun with his brother first. Joe flashed Nicky a bright smile and a wink, always aware of his presence, no matter where or how silent Nicky was, and that left Nicky flustered from head to toe, even after all these years.Nicky blamed that goddam haircut.
Joe knew the effect he had on him. Bastard.
His bastard.

Summary
Sebastian wasn’t jealous of Joseph and Nicholas.He wasn’t jealous of the way the two of them naturally gravitated towards each other. How Joseph’s arm always seemed to find Nicholas’ waist. How Nicholas twirled Joseph’s curls in his fingers absentmindedly as he read a book and Joseph sketched something in his journal. How Joseph hugged Nicholas from behind as the latter cooked, just plastered himself to Nicholas back and whispered intimacies into his ear. How Nicholas leaned his head against Joseph’s shoulder when he was tired, falling asleep as Joseph read him a story.
No, it wasn’t jealousy Sebastian felt when he watched them.
It was yearning.
“So, do you want to fuck Nicholas?” Joseph asked him nonchalantly as he swirled his scotch, looking at the bottom of his glass. Sebastian choked on his and spilled his drink over his chest, coughing.
The outcome wasn't what any of them expected.

Summary
On her layover in Munich, she stops in the ladies’. She’s washing her hands when someone pulls up at the next sink, and says, “Corporal Freeman?”
Forcing herself to breathe slow, raise her head slow, she looks. The sight of desert camo takes her right out of the bathroom, back to the heat and the buzz of flies swarming to her own blood.

Nicky drives. A few kilometers in, he starts to speak, barely above a whisper. “Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace.”
“Amen,” Booker responds, the short “a” coming out like a sigh.
Joe says nothing. The tears on his cheeks reflect the glow of Nile’s phone as he unlocks it to text Copley. Maybe he’ll have something to say later, when he’s alone.
Nile looks down at the woman she is holding, who is older than the religions of everyone in this car.
